Australian game studio Samurai Punk announced today that it will be closing its doors after 10 years in operation. The news was shared in a statement on social media, in which the studio’s directors thanked their fans for their support and outlined their plans for the future.

Samurai Punk is known for releasing a variety of unique and innovative games, including the competitive multiplayer shooter Screencheat, the first-person shooter Killbug, and the arcade action game Justice Sucks. The studio’s games have been praised for their creativity, humor, and originality. To quote the tweet:

“After a wild 10 years we have made the tough decision to cease development at Samurai Punk, marking the end of our journey together… Samurai Punk started in 2014 during a situation in Australia where jobs were short and the only route forward for us was to either found a company or move overseasto find work. We banded together with the shared goal of creating exciting and fresh game experiences, and we’re incredibly proud of what we were able to achieve together.”
